Joshua 24:19-28

19But JoshuaH3091 saidH559 toH413 the peopleH5971, “You are notH3808 ableH3201 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, forH3588 HeH1931 is a holyH6918 GodH430; HeH1931 is a jealousH7072 GodH410; He will notH3808 forgiveH5375 your rebellionH6588 or your sinsH2403. 20IfH3588 you forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068 and serveH5647 foreignH5236 godsH430, He will turnH7725 and bring disasterH7489 on you and consumeH3615 youH853, even afterH310 He has been goodH3190 to you.”

21“NoH3808H3588!” repliedH559 the peopleH5971H413. “We will serveH5647 the LORDH3068!”

22Then JoshuaH3091H413 toldH559 them, “YouH859 are witnessesH5707 against yourselves thatH3588 youH859 have chosenH977 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068.”

“We are witnessesH5707!” they saidH559.

23“Now, thereforeH6258,” he said, “get rid ofH5493 the foreignH5236 godsH430 among youH7130 and inclineH5186 your heartsH3824 toH413 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.”

24So the peopleH5971 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “We will serveH5647 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 and obeyH8085 His voiceH6963.”

25On thatH1931 dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 for the peopleH5971, and there at ShechemH7927 he establishedH7760 for them a statuteH2706 and ordinanceH4941. 26JoshuaH3091 recordedH3789 theseH428 thingsH1697 in the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of GodH430. Then he tookH3947 a largeH1419 stoneH68 and set it upH6965 thereH8033 underH8478 the oakH4271 thatH834 was near the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068. 27And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 toH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971, “You seeH2009 thisH2063 stoneH68. It will beH1961 a witnessH5713 against us, forH3588 itH1931 has heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH561 the LORDH3068 has spokenH1696 to usH5973, and it will beH1961 a witnessH5713 against you if you everH6435 denyH3584 your GodH430.”

28Then JoshuaH3091 sent the peopleH5971 awayH7971, eachH376 to his own inheritanceH5159.
